The eight nations are split into two groups of four. Group A will see Bangladesh, Oman, Netherlands and Ireland battling it out to progress. Bangladesh will be favourites but Ireland and Netherlands could easily cause an upset, especially Netherlands who have been strong at the World T20 in the past, look out for games between these sides
Group B consists of Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Scotland and Hong
Kong with Afghanistan having to be considered the favourites having defeated
Zimbabwe in several recent ODI and T20I series. Scotland and Hong Kong are no
mugs however and in T20 cricket there is always the chance of a surprise.

Champions League
and Europa League
For perhaps the first time in history, there may be slightly
more interest in a Europa league match than in the Champions League, so much so
that it gets the infamous Ultra HD treatment. Liverpool will play Manchester
United for the first time ever in Europe whilst Tottenham have an exciting
encounter against Borussia Dortmund. In the Champions League, the English
interest is at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea seeking to overturn a 2-1 deficit
against PSG.
